For women who have vulvodynia, you might see a dermatologist along with a gynaecologist. Really this is a skin condition. Ask about lichen sclerosis or other types of skin problems. Not every problem in the vulva is a gynecological one.
I have used Lyrica (pregabalin) maximum dose 300 mg, amitriptyline 30 mg per day and Tara-clobetsol ointment twice weekly for 2 weeks then nothing for a week and resume twice weekly etc. Be careful of cream formulations as they don’t stay on as long and can have reactions based on the formulation of the cream.

I am taking 150 mg lyrica and it helps a little. I makes my head feel numb and not enjoy anything. I have been to the dermatologist who gave me gabspentin but it did not make me better. There is nothing that a person can see on my vulva to treat with a cream. At first I only had the pain when sitting. Now it hurts all the time. When I first get out of bed I feel better but once I start doing things the pain comes back.
